| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
| This is an insect of order Phasmatodea. They are called Phasmids, or Stick Insect or even Walking Stick. Bicho-Pau in Brazil. Easy to figure out why...This may be a female, while males are rare, smaller and have wings. There are around 800 species of Phasmids just in my country - Brazil. Thousands around the world. There are some Phasmids that look like a leaf also. Some people have Stick Insects as a pet! They are herbivorous, slow and harmless curious creatures. |

Hola Fabiano,
Interesante foto de esta especie es más grande y robusta que la que tenemos por las pampas. Creo no equivocarme pero no es un bicho palo o Phasmatodea sino un Orthoptero de la familia Proscopiidae, pariente de grillos y saltamontes. Puedes ver uno en mi galería y comparar. Son muy similares, seguramente evolucionaron asi porque tienen una forma de vida similar.
Saludos
Hernán

Oi brimo!
O bicho tá jóia! Talvez o povo não tenha gostado do lugar onde ele está. Trilho de trem or what? É a única explicação para não ter maior sucesso. Eu gostei do bichinho. Difícil de achar, hein..
Abraço,
Zeca
